I have been helping my parents sell their 2002 - 290 Amberjack. It has been a frustrating experience. I have paid for an ad here, but posting a link to the boattrader ad. http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2002-Sea-Ray-290-Amberjack-617179
So most people interested in this boat are on a coast and we are in the middle of the US. The boat does not have the fishing package so it has that going against it. The shipping cost are a good percentage of the cost of the boat. The boat has been mechanically very well maintained and the bilge is very clean. Boat cabin is like new, cockpit carpet was pulled out the first month and looks new.
That being said we have had multiple offers on the boat. 39.5k has been the lowest my dad has been willing to go. We were 2k apart with one offer. Probably should have taken it. This is not a popular boat in the midwest. Any suggestions on what we could do to help sell it. My parents have reached a point in life where boating is no longer for them. They have owned 13 boats over the years.
I would appreciate feedback.
